Golan Heights and Safed Tour, 2 Days

Discover the wild, spiritual north of Israel on this 2-day Galilee and Golan Heights tour. Day 1 ascends from the Plain of Armageddon past Megiddo into the Galilee, then climbs the volcanic Golan plateau. Visit Hamat Gader — a stunning ancient Roman spa complex with hot mineral springs — the Shalom Observatory for sweeping Sea of Galilee views, and Katzrin's excavated Talmudic Jewish village with its ancient synagogue. The day culminates at Mount Bental, where you can walk through Syrian bunkers from the 1967 Six Day War and peer into Syria. Overnight at a scenic Kibbutz guesthouse. Day 2 begins at Mount Hermon, Israel's highest peak, then descends to Banias — a former Roman city surrounded by lush forests, streams, and waterfalls. Continue to the 13th-century Crusader Nimrod Fortress (Kal'at Nimrod), enjoy lunch at a Druze restaurant, and end in the mystical city of Safed — one of Judaism's four holy cities — exploring the Caro and Ari Synagogues and the famous Artists' Quarter. Departs Wednesdays.
